Allan Odgaard, the author of TextMate, still denies to make a Windows version of his famous editor.

He misses a very lucrative market with profits guaranteed (Windows users are begging him to port it), still he won’t do it. Instead he points to other editors copying his ideas, innovations etc!

(He even goes a step further and may drop backwards compatibility for Mac OS X with the next major TextMate release.)

And guess what? Right he is! If working on TextMate wouldn’t be fun, it wouldn’t be such a great product.

Keep up the good work Allan, I never felt sorry for a single cent I spent on TextMate.
